Producatorii nu au angajat inca un scenarist pentru adaptare dar sunt in cautare, pentru a incepe proiectul.
Acestea au mai adaugat:
“Our aim with this project is to stretch the genres it operated within, much like the source material did,” Vanderbosch said. “It is such an innovative property and by utilizing the novels as our primary resource, we have the opportunity to offer audiences the essence of MYST without being limited only to the famous island of the first game. Our focus has always been on creating an entirely new visual experience driven by engaging characters and an epic narrative.”
Mitologia jocurilor se concentreaza asupra unei civilizatii pe nume D’ni si posibilitatea acestora de a creea lumi infinite, si de a le controla. Myst, jocul, il pune pe jucator in rolul lui Stranger, care foloseste o carte speciala pentru a calatori pe insula Myst. Ajuns acolo, jucatorul foloseste alte carti magice scrise de un mestesugar si explorator numit Atrus, pentru a calatori in lumi diferite si a-i salva pe detinatorii acestora, captivi in una din acele carti.
